praktijke

Praktijke is not a standard term in modern Dutch and is rarely found as a distinct entry in contemporary dictionaries. In most sources where it appears, it is treated as a nonstandard variant, misspelling, or archaic/dialectal form related to the root word praktijk, which means practice or professional activity. There is no widely recognized, separate definition for praktike in current Dutch usage.

The standard equivalents in modern Dutch are praktijk for the noun meaning practice or clinic, as in "de medische praktijk" (the medical practice), and praktijken in the plural. The related adjective meaning practical is praktisch, with its definite form appearing as praktische before nouns, such as "praktische vaardigheden" (practical skills).

In historical or dialectal texts, spelling variations were common, and forms similar to praktike can occur due to older orthographic practices. When encountering praktike in archival material, it is typically interpreted as an archaic spelling variant of praktijk or as an orthographic variant of a related adjective, rather than as a separate lexical item with a distinct meaning.

Usage guidance: if you encounter praktike in contemporary writing, it is likely a typographical error or a nonstandard/dialectal form. In standard Dutch, you should replace it with praktijk (or praktijken) when referring to the noun, or with praktisch/praktische when using the adjective.
